I did for a time. From the ages of 9-18 I was HUGE on the scene. From WWF/E to the Indy scene. Use to go to the events that rolled around; kept up to date on SoCal Indy scene; tried to get a bunch of shirts and merch; copped ROH, CZW, IWA-MS and other shows when they were released. Then, I just grew out of it. I never thought I'd get back into it. It was during the Summer of Punk that got me back in. I read a bunch of shyt where people were :gladbron: about that pipebomb promo. :wow:

I was out the game for about 5 years. Now I just keep tabs on WWE and sometimes TNA. The Indy scene isn't what it was back then (word to my man Super Dragon).

Ill be honest. I lost interest in WWE and Wrestling most the past few years. Right around when ECW popped up as the third fed. For me, those years are like the dead years. It didn't help as well that MMA became bigger, and I was staying up till 4am in the morning to watch PRIDE Fighting Events on the web.

I did...i missed the entire Attitude Era..i saw the beginnings of it like Austin 3:16 and a few things..but i never got to see Shawn Michaels when he made his comeback..missed the HBK-less DX...the invasion...everything lol.

shyt was corny to me back then (funny since we were only 2 years removed from King Mabel vs Diesel as a main event)..but now when i watch Attitude Era i see how ill it was...some of it was still ass to me tho :manny:

i stopped watching WWE right when evolution was formed and came back when D-Bry debuted on NXT. I watched some indy stuff from 2005-2007, but looking back on it, most of the stuff I watched was garbage outside of ROH/PWG.

I didn't watch for most of 99-2002, and stopped again 04-06. Watched pretty heavy again until 2011, now I don't watch iot that much. I'll probably always check out Wrestlemania and a little of the buildup until I'm 40, but the week to week stuff and backstage politics shyt I don't care about anymore.

TNA becoming the worst kind of hillbilly promotion played a part in me watching little wrestling this year too.

Started watching in '87, faithfully... and then it seemed like overnight, I started losing interest in '93 when I entered high school. Then around '95 I straight up stopped watching. I was on a whole nother mindset by then and I didn't have a clue what was happening in wrestling... in late-'97 my uncle called and told me Flyin' Brian had died. I tuned in to see what they were gonna say about it, and shyt was so different from how I remembered it. It wasn't that corny shyt I tuned out from in '95, so I started watching both WWF and WCW again. Since then, been watching.

For a couple of years I had the time to watch way too much shyt, which exposed me to GREAT wrestling but also burned me up.

I don't think I'll ever stop watching one way or the other but nowadays I'm full with RAW/PPVs and stuff I can find on youtube/dailymotion when I have the time.

Also, I couldn't watch anything from 2002 to 2004 because the channel that showed WWF in Chile stopped and I didn't have a decent internet connection :laugh:

I just got back into it early this year, but WWE is very easy to catch up with.
